What’s the best option for people who hate proprietary cloud BS?
Comment on Choosing my first printer is driving me mad.

Bambu p1s + ams.
My maker space got one because we were sick of farting around with half working printers, it’s been a workhorse for like 2 years now.
Then I bought one 6 months ago and I can count on one hand the number of failed prints.

I’d personally be looking towards Prusa, in that case.

Prusa has their own proprietary cloud BS too.

As much as I’m worried about Bambu doing a rug pull (and they already have to a certain extent), my P1S is my 5th 3d printer, but my first casual one. I can leave it unused for 6 months, then just print something with no warning and first print success.

I guess I might have to bite that bullet, I can’t help being attracted to newer models and cheap alternatives but the P1S with AMS would be in budget and then I have Bambu…

I think of the Bambu P1S as the inexpensive alternative to the Bambu X1C or a comparable printer from Prusa, at least in terms of print consistency and ease of use.
My Bambu was my fourth 3D printer (second FDM printer) and it took 3D printing from a frustrating, time consuming hobby to just a thing I do to enable other hobbies. I don’t have to spend time tweaking settings to get a decent print, because the default settings are already good enough. Instead, I can focus on designing models or working with finished prints.

It’s a lot of printer for the money and I’m sure you’ll be happy with it.

It’s the same for my old QQS-pro though. Even after some mods, it still just works. Upgrades are clear but not necessary.
